Curator Jen Pepper says, "Betwixt & Between: Contemporary Still Life" presents the works of four artists who investigate the traditions of still life painting, capturing subtle beauty in common objects that we come across in our daily lives, while serving as metaphors or memento mori, reminding us that the objects depicted will also come to pass. The works in this exhibition include works in both traditional painting methods with contemporary quirky twists, and works in ceramic creating whimsical objects and the unexpected."
